We rented the upstairs area as well as the back of the distillery for a sit down dinner. The space was really perfect! They made signs for our guests for 'bride and groom drinks' as well as a decorated sign directing the guests upstairs. We had so many compliments from our guests. The bartenders were super helpful. Honestly, we could not have been happier. After dinner several guests shot pool and played darts. Such a pleasure to work with.

It's cozy and quaint with a nice outside patio area and live music. Dogs are welcomed outside. Food truck of island noodles was outside which was amazing!

If you're lucky enough to get a few minutes to chat with him, you'll see exactly what I mean. The whisky is outstanding and must be tried. This distillery is a combination of Ernie and Mark hard work and dedication as well as Ernie personally lobbying the State of Ohio to allow these products to flow. I can't say enough good about this place and the great Americans running it.

Edwin Coe's Spirits (north of Churubusco on 33) - a nice place for a couple or small group to go…read moreand relax I'm sharing a lesser known secret to those that like relax in a peaceful atmosphere that has unique food & drink offerings. Edwin Coe's is located north of Busco on 33. They make unique spirits there in this country setting. The place is a bit small but wide open. They have vintage style furnishings that are comfortable. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Edwin Coe's can be popular in the warmer months when there is live music. Otherwise, it is not very busy - even on a Friday or Saturday evening prime time. This makes EC a great place to meet a group of 4-8 people. Especially if you want to sit and talk or play some table games. We've been many times and always had a good experience. I have attached drink and food menus so you know what they have. EC makes most of their own alcohol. They have a very innovative menu of drink offerings. Many are very attractive...and all tasty! The food menu is very narrow. It isn't "bar food" and comes at a moderate cost. All food is made in their on site kitchen - as they used to host the Fork and Fiddle food truck. Food has a bit of gourmet flair while keeping the breadth of selections fairly basic/popular. Give Edwin Coe Spirits a try - especially if you have a small group that likes to relax and socialize.

They offer a tour (well worth the $20 price tag) that starts out with a yummy adult bevvie and takes you through their distilling process, rickhouse, bottling, and event spaces.

Highly recommend - we'll be back again as we enjoy distillery tours and usually have to go to Kentucky for good ones like this.

Definitely the best cucumber cocktail I've ever tried and it really sold me on their summer gin! She got the Winter King which was also tasty and featured their winter gin. You can buy the bottles to go and they would make great gifts. The Jalapeño Pants was a really tasty spicy cocktail with a flavorful tahin/salt rim and featuring their fall gin.

Or be here at a normal time for normal reasons, haha. Cocktails are always decent, though maybe a bit overwrought and on the sweet side. Can't say I can always taste all the ingredients they put in. Sometimes simple can be best. The N/A watermelon spritz I had didn't have much flavor. Could have used less spritz, I guess. Today specifically we came for the Tacos El Panda truck; they have great birria and we fancied a cocktail as well. In the past we also enjoyed the Juicy Oyster truck.

We visited late and really just stopped in to get a drink but the owner was there and gave us a quick tour. We explored the machines, barrels and containers used to make all spirits and learned about the process of creating their unique blend of spirits. The history of this place is very compelling and our drinks (flamingo) were crafted with perfection. We left with their Apple vodka and that bottle didn't make it through the weekend. The night we visited, no events occurred but the owner did mention they have live music and other events regularly. An overall cute spot I'd return to.
